本研究评估了与大麻使用相关的风险认知差异，作为过去使用的函数，以及报告大麻使用的人，作为使用频率的函数，并在过去经历过后果。参与者是725名即将入学的一年级大学生，他们参加了一项纵向研究，研究大麻预防计划的有效性。对横断面数据的分析表明，非大麻使用者的风险感知比报告使用大麻的人更大（反过来，他们更有可能实际经历与毒品有关的后果）。在大麻使用者中，风险认知不受大麻使用频率的影响，也不受与毒品有关的后果的实际经验的影响。研究结果表明，对于戒断者来说，感知的风险和使用大麻的潜在后果可能对开始使用大麻起保护作用。对于那些使用大麻的人来说，利用动机增强方法的干预努力可以探索感知风险和实际经历后果之间的差异。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The present study evaluates differences in risk perception related to marijuana use as a function of past use and, among those who report marijuana use, as a function of frequency of use and having experienced a consequence in the past. Participants were 725 incoming first year college students in a longitudinal study examining the efficacy of a marijuana prevention program. Analyses of cross-sectional data indicated that risk perception was greater among non-users of marijuana than for those who reported marijuana use (and, in turn, who were more likely to have actually experienced a drug-related consequence). Among marijuana users, risk perception was not influenced by the frequency of marijuana use nor was it influenced by the actual experience of a drug-related consequence. The findings suggest that for abstainers, perceived risk and the potential consequences of marijuana use may serve a protective role against the initiation of marijuana use. For those who use marijuana, intervention efforts utilizing motivation enhancement approaches could explore the discrepancy between perceived risks and actual experienced consequences.
